Breathe in Breathe Out

by

Just got back 2 rolls of film from my recent trip to Korea and here’s the first post. I assure you it’ll be one of the many more post to come along which I am excited about! I’d let the images do the ‘talking’…

Maybe it’s because it’s Spring time when I visited Korea, most of the tress were either lusciously green but without any flowers or they were entirely bare which made the trees look ‘skinny’. During the day time, it was mostly sunny but with good wind and in a range of 18′C – 20′C. While the nights were as cold as 12′C – 15′C. Even as I type this, I’m already beginning to miss the awesome weather of Korea. Please teleport the weather over to Singapore or better still teleport me OVER to Korea now.

*Ps the first 3 images were taken with an older Solaris 400 film that was in the camera for about a year old while the other was a fresh new film used. And I noticed that my Olympus Mju ii has this light ring at the side of some of my images, can anyone enlighten me as to why is that happening? Thanks!!

Yashica Electro 35 GTN

by

So (not so) recently, I was contemplating between 2 cameras – an Olympus XA2 or a Yashica Electro 35 GTN. What got me thinking is because I used to own a Olympus XA2 but have suffered a bad death aka “Lionel” – the spool got stuck and couldn’t move anymore, yet I’m still in love with it, so how?

The hunt for a camera began, till a seller that I contacted advised me to get the Yashica instead of an Olympus which was limited in photography capabilities. Since the Olympus was a ‘point and shoot’ in comparison of the Yashica that it a ‘range finder’.

The only cons of the Yashica is that the lenses are fixed, BUT it’s definitely producing awesome shots, which is not so new anymore.

I’d have it up in the next post.

Life in Mono Tone

It’s been ages since I shot B/W and I’m beginning to fall in love with it, once again. But there’s so much to practice on – since colour can’t elevate the photo, it can only be done by capturing minute details.

Have a great weekend! Do something – take some shots, catch up with friends, do something that would make you smile for the rest of the coming week!

How apparent!

My ‘like’ shot. Love how the shadows fall unto the bricks and the organic feel.
